That's very difficult to prove that he didn't smell it. Marijuana is very potent these days, so who's to say he didn't smell it from another vehicle, or from a nearby residence. I agree that they falsely claim smelling marijuana is mostly bullshit, especially now that it is legal in most places, so chances are they will find some, it is still difficult to prove that he didn't smell it, even if the source wasn't the vehicle.

When I passed through I would take my pistol out of my holster, lock it in a metal lock box, unload all my magazines and put my ammunition in a separate lock box, put them in my trunk and locked it. Still, I could be arrested and charged in Maryland. Passing through. No stopping. A loaded pistol magazine or revolver speed-loader in Maryland has the same Five Year prison term, minimum, as having a loaded pistol and or revolver. I used to carry concealed in several states that recognized the spirit of the Second Amendment. Not in Maryland, DC and other jurisdictions. I used to have a special permit in Virginia to carry loaded rifles and shotguns in the front of my vehicles. Gun laws and restrictions in America are a crazy quilt of local, state and Federal Laws. Local drug dealers in my community, all small time, drive to Baltimore, Maryland to buy illegal drugs off the street and resell them here. They no fear of being caught. But, have a pistol magazine with one bullet in it and that is an automatic five years in a Maryland prison. I gun of any kind on you or in your car: you neglected to remove a magazine from your glove or trunk. Five years! You can legally open carry where I am. You need a permit for concealment. The smell of gun oil could easily be probable cause, even if the cops saw a sewing machine in the back seat. I used to lobby in my state capitol over gun rights. I'm starting to get involved again. I'm taking a hiatus while wife is going through her final stage of Alzheimer's. I look back at what my family did do the average American can have the rights they now have. The European side for 417 years, native side for a few thousand years. America is not just a country. It's my home. And a representative republic, not a democracy. Though it is treated more as a mob rule democracy. And less Federal and more national as socialist thought creeps in. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

wrong....it can still cause a search, seizure or investigation because anything over a specific amount is still illegal.

Watching a lot of these videos and coming in with a bias mindset makes you guys go too far in the other direction. If audit is trying to be objective then he can’t make a call either way. He wasn’t there so he can’t judge one way or another for the smell of marijuana. So he did the logical thing and ignore the smell part. Look, if he did grade the cops lower and used “smell of marijuana that may not have existed” as justification of a lower grade, he’d be bashed for not maintaining objectivity and lose reputation for being a fair channel... which defeats the entire purpose of this channel. If you guys want to hivemind go for it, but don’t fault the channel for disregarding something they can’t attest to objectively.

[@rivera2030]

@@blackmamba1261 I love how you defended ATA's grade of the cop by saying that he has to analyze the facts and come to a objective conclusion yet you assumed everyone here doesn't do the same thing and simply just follows "hivemind". Considering the fact that it was apparently raining; that the driver was smoking a cigarette; that the cop was probably biased by the fact that the guy didn't want to lower his window and that NO drugs were found in the car, I say the marijuana smell accusation was bullshit! And considering the hysterical and unprofessional way the cop acted in the whole interaction he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

[@blackmamba1261]

@@rivera2030 That's not an objective conclusion you reached. You weren't there, it's not like the driver later said anything about there's no smell, or complained about the search being illegitimate and that there was no smell as far as we can tell. If you think the accusation was BS that's entirely your opinion and I don't plan on swaying you. However, I WILL contest you on the point that it's an objective conclusion based on the video. As I said, ATA is being objective, and even with your logic it's still a subjective matter and involves speculation. There's nothing that says there ISN'T a smell coming from the vehicle, most notably it lacks a statement from the driver himself. Maybe the driver thought the police won't listen given what has happened so far, sure, but you would think the driver would mention it later that there was no smell or anything suspicious. From what I can tell, the subsequent contest was only about the citation itself (which wasn't directly related to the search). Either way, at least without some help from the driver himself, ATA would not be able to OBJECTIVELY state that the marijuana smell accusation was fake. That induces bias one way or another. If the driver said somehwere that "there was no way a cop could have smelled marijuana in my car", either during the interaction of subsequently, ATA could say "questionable search of the car" and lower the grade there. However, given what we see, I think ATA made the correct judgement here.

Which, let's be fair here, unless you got limo tint, this excuse is complete bull. You can clearly see in and out of a vehicle even with a fairly dark tint.

Ordering him to put his hands on the steering wheel would not have helped much with the windows still up, since he would have to produce documents and such.

@@Dowlphin You can see silhouettes move. The windows are dark, but not that dark. They're not limo tinted and completely blacked out. They can clearly see him and his deliberate movements, even if they can't see every detail like the numbers of hair on his head. Like I already stated, the rear windshield is already the same tint as the rest of their car. If officers were really worried about their safety and being able to see what's going on, they'd approach the vehicle from the front. The front windows and windshield are not allowed to be tinted, from what I know, and if they can be it's significantly lighter than the rest of the car. Plus they can see his face and any other passengers inside the vehicle with ease. Furthermore, it would prevent the amount of take offs after being pulled over. If they came up, asked for your papers, and you decided to drive off while they input your info, they can immediately put the vehicle in drive or neutral and move to block you from moving forward. If they're worried about weapons, park cock-eyed so you can use the vehicle and doors as cover. Slowly approaching from the back does less for them since they cannot see over the seats until they're right up on him. Again, this has nothing to do with them and their safety. This wasn't a felony stop. It was a simple citation and misdemeanor because, as the story goes, he fishtailed a bit coming out of a turn at a stop. There was no reason to make this more than it had to be and search his vehicle. There was no reason for them to feel threatened. He made no attempt or movements to dictate he was hostile or a threat. If they were smart and logical, they could've went about this a hundred different other ways if they truly feared for their life. But they didn't.

Does “ roll down your window” require that it be rolled down all the way or just enough to communicate with officer? It was raining and there are loads of electronics that will get wet. Not trying to be obtuse....

[@nonyabidness6492]

Not all the way, he refused to do it at first

@@nonyabidness6492 not true. The drivers side window was down. The cop wanted the passenger window down. The courts have ruled they can’t use the i smell weed excuse if you only have one window down. ATA has literally discussed it on this channel.

These cops forced this guy to roll down his window so they could lie about the smell of marijuana and you give then a b+?

[@Wizznilliam]

Right... Most people in this community know that this is the tactic now. So giving them the benefit of the doubt seems weird. And everything else after confirms that they are not good cops that were just fishing.

[@thepoofster2251]

It's not a cops job to be nice. You can think they are ass holes but their job is to operate within the bounds of the law. The B rating is because they obeyed the law, plain and simple.

[@machedari]

@The Poofster so youve got no problem with cops lying about the smell of marijuana?

[@thepoofster2251]

@@machedari it's not a probable lie. If you went to court he could argue that the smell could have been in the area. Remember that a court room standard is usually beyond a reasonable doubt, and that burden of proof has not yet been established

[@colescrustycars]

The guy is smoking a Wild Hemp marijuana cigarette that is THC free, you can see the green filter and pack. So yeah... they definitely smelled marijuana..

[@WApnj]

It's raining. So he is supposed to damage the interior just to make the cop happy...?

[@linoleumshake]

If an officer smells marijuana from my car, knowing damn well I don’t have any, I immediately smell alcohol on their breath. Funny how that always happens

[@fortifarse]

The "oh well" at 2:15 is so beautifully executed!

[@marlboromatt5656]

They escalated the situation as high as possible when it was absolutely not necessary but they get a B+ ? Using common sense I’m adjusting the score to a C- and that final.

[@MSH786]

Are you freakin serious?! How tf are you gonna grade the cop a “B+” for performing such a hostile traffic stop, which included barking out orders for the driver to roll his window all the way down while he had his hand on his service weapon, ordering the driver to step out of his car so he could conduct an unlawful Terry frisk on him and an illegal search of the vehicle, and then finally give the dude citations for the initial reason for the stop after not finding anything else to pin on him? He was super hostile from the get-go and shouldn’t have gotten a grade higher than a “D”!

[@usarmyfl1]

Just seems weird being searched over a civil infraction.

[@miltonperez5257]

They're used to the decades of violating our rights and can't move past it. Once it's legal federally they'll lose their jobs as their role will be defunct at their department. Maybe the officers left can start solving violent crimes instead of harrassing random drivers.

[@sirgreedy88]
